The Gold Poured Into the Sea by
Wrecks.


Wrecks.
From the London Telegraph
The memory of the loss OF e200, ,0Os of sill
yer and gold will survive the drowning of
1 900 souls in a coup. There was the Lutine,
for instance. She was of thirty-two guns,
commanded by Capt. SKINNER, and she went
ashore on the bank of the Fly Island passage
on the night of Oct. 8, 1899. At first she
was reputed to have had six hundred thou
sand pounds of sterling in specie on board.
This was afterward contradicted by state
ment that 'sthe return from the Bullion
Office makes the whole amount about e140,-
900 sterling" If find in a contemporary
account, ''the wreck of the unfortunate Lut-
inc should be discovered, there may be reason
to hope for the recovery of the bullion"
In the reign of James II. some English
adventurers fitted ont vessel to search for
and weigh up the cargo of a rich Spanish
ship which had been lost on the coast of
South America. They succeeded and brought
home e300, 200, which had been forty-four
years at the bottom of the sea. Capt.
Phipps, who commanded, had ego, 900 for mis-
share, and the Duke of Albermarle 100000
A medal was struck in honor of this event in
1857.
There very costly wreck in 1857.
She was a Dutch East Indianan. and foun-
dered within three leagues of the Texel, tax
ing down all hands but six and $500, 900.
The price of four such ArInadas as that of
1888 went down in the last century alone in
the shape of gold, silver and plate. She was
the annual register ship, as the term then
was, and had in her 500. 600 piastres and TO-,
900 ounces of gold on account of the King,
and twice that SUN on the merchants
account, making her very rich ship. She
foundered, and no man escaped to tell how
and when.
In the same year the Dutch lost the Anton
ietta, an Indiaman, and with her sank f700,
900 sterling, besides jewels of great value.
The Royal Charter is the most notable mod
ern instance of the wreck OF treasure"
ship that | can just now call to mind. She
left Australia with $3.50, 900 in her. OF this
sum- says Charles Dickens in his chapter on
| this dreadful shipwreck in the "Uncommer-
| cial Traveller" e300, 900 worth were recover
| ed at the time of the novelist's visit to
| the spot where she had driven ashore. ''The
great bulk of the remainder, writes Dickens,
Twas surely and steadily coming up. Some
| loss of sovereigns there would be, of course;
| indeed, at first sovereigns had drifted in with
| the sand, and been scattered far and wide
| over the beach like shells, but most other
golden treasure would be found. So tre-
mendous had the force of the sea been when
| it broke the ship that it had beaten great
| ingot of gold deep into strong and heavy
piece of her solid iron work, in which also
several loose sovereigns that the ingot had
swept in before it had been found as firmly
embedded as though the iron had been
liquid when they had been forced there.
This is curiosity of disaster but nightly
suggestive of the seas miserly trick of con-
cealing her plunder.

Chang Yen Hoon's Gorgeousness.

ltrom The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat
The Chinese minister, Chang Yen Hoon, is
quite worldly minded and progressive
Mandarin. He had bis first taste of foreign
life and manners while Taotai, or governor,
of Shanghai, and he laid there the founda-
ton of the great fortune he enjoys. He en-
tertains magnifcently and dresses richly and
has costumes without end. Last night his
attire was a white brocaded satin coat, fast
ened with gold and diamond buttons, and
skirts of the palest bluish-white satin. He
has the bland, benevolent, all-wise face of
Buddha, and the presence of great diamond
set in the front of his cap still further re-
minds one of the divinity on the lotus. When
he came to this country he had one still
larger diamond that he wore on his ceremo-
NAL cap, but he read and heard so much OF
the massacre at Rock Springs, train robber-
les, hat-rack thieves, dynamite mssives,
and other things new and peculiar to this
superior and highly civilized country that he
concluded that America was no place for his
cherished diamond, and he sent it back to
China for safe keeping.
He is gorgeous enough as he is, and the
variety and extent of bis wardrobe is amaz-
ing. Chang Yen Hoon is quite an exquisite
in his way, and does not shroud himself in
the sober grays and plumb coloIs in which
his venerable predecessor moved about. He
is always resplendent in turquoise blue, pale
lilac. golden green soft pink, silver gray,
reddish purple, and such colors, white.
A gown will be of color, coat of
another, and tight trousers of a third color
showing at the open sides of the gown.
Often these silky garments lined with
contrasting colcrs, and in their walks abroad
and in any drawing room the minister and
his staff make brilliant spot of color.

One of Brevvster's Whim.

Probably ex-Attorney- General Brewster
had the strangest conceit of any man who
ever came to Washington. He liked an open
CRATE fire, but somehow he detested the color
of coal The contrast of the black coal and
the red and blue flames was most distasteful
to him; so his servants always had orders to
splash the fuel with whitewash, which he
kept on hand for the purpose.
General Butler has a whim. OF late years
he is seldom without a piece of slippery elm
in his mouth, which he declares is an admir-
able specific for nervousness. Years ago
Butler was a smoker. Then he took what is
known as a dry smoke-that is, he went
through the motions of smoking with an un-
lighted cigar in his mouth. From that he
was graduated to slippery elm, and there is
no telling what he will take next.
Senator Beck's whim is that he cannot
speak unless he arises with penholder in
his right hand, which he always slams down
upon his desk before he has spoken dozen
words. There are several members of Con-
gress who have what is known as the crack
walking craze. Not one of these men would
step upon crack in days walk, unless
obliged to do SO by the presence of brick
sidewalk There is certain scientific man
here whose name is known all over the civil
lized world. He says:
81 have had this crack-walking habit for
twenty years. In the first place started
just for fun, to see if could avoid stepping
crack in going a certain distance. l
found that could, and I made up my mind
to keep it up for that day. As I had GER
tain amount Of walking to do, at first this
craze was sort of pleasant diversion. Then
it became a settled habit. I have tried TO
break it up time and time again, but it has
such a hold on me that I presume I will re-
main q crack-walker to the end of my DAYS. y

the ordinary man would 500. In those days
bluff made good deal, too. Men used to
go down into their pockets and if you

made it 800 better. The other people drop

it $500, making it cost $3.50 to draw cards.

captured my fourth six. Say, maybe I wasn't
shaking, for knew Bowen was in for big
bluff. Powell seemed afraid and gently laid
in $50. I raised him $500 and Bowen went
81, 900 better than me. DR.. Powell took out
his check book and said: Il suppose you will
not object to my checks'
''We murmured No. and he called the

and water in California, after a full exami-
nation of the Rancho Ex-Mission of San Fer
nando, reports to the owners of the prope ry,
the Porter Land and Water Company, as fol-
lows: "You have 10000 to 1000 acres,
and perhaps more, of really first-rate valley
lands for cultivation, with soils not to be sur
passed for fertility and desirability by those

CATION and in neighborhood whose climate
is well adapted to the best class of agricul-

Chronic Bronchitis.

Chronic Bronchitis is also an int1amma
tion of the mucous membrane of the bron-
chial tnbes. When a COLI settles on the
lungs the disease either ends in bronchitis
or pneumonia. If 1t ends in bronchitis il
usually passes off as cod on ihs chest,
and still the patient does feel entirely
well. He feels tired and languid and is in.
capable of taking his usual smouptof exer.
cise. and experiences a sLoriness of breath
with more or less warmth in the palms OF
his hands. Soon after this cough appears,
accompanied by an expectofatiOn OF thick
mucus, followed by a he cite flush, loss OF
tihue, when the patient assumes all the ap.
pearances OF having a genuine case OF con.
sumption. But this Is simply catarrh of the
lungs or chronic bronchitis.
In the later stage of the disease the mucus

sOitens, while in the smaller tubes and air
cells OF the lungs the mucus mem brane be.
comes congested and infiammed. There
are no cayaiies nor tubercles In the lungs,
but merely wasting away of the larger
bronchial tubes, and death takes place
from obstruction of the bronchial tubes and
air cells of the lungs. The patient dies
from exhaustion and suffocatiOn, being
unable to expectorate the mucus which
accumulates in the passe GO leading to the
lungs, which in some cases is sticky and
small in quantity, but more commonly
copious, of u light straw or yellowish green.
Oiteutimes streaks of blood make their ap-
pesrance in the mucus. ard at times there
is q disagreeable smell. Persons thus af.
hic'ed are very liable to take a cold, at
which time the mucus becomes clear and
ffOthy and 1t Is not uncommonly the case
that the patient dies in one OF these attacks
